I really enjoyed watching Blade Runner. We talked about this in class, but my absolute favorite scene was the roof scene with Roy Batty and Deckard. I found out that the actor who played Batty improved some of his lines including the "tears in rain" part which makes me love it a million times more. Honestly I think Batty's character, although a replicant, was the most human out of everyone. Of course, the roof scene for example. But also when he is grieving over Pris' death. He shows so much emotion. He touches her cheek and looks at her face as she's lying there dead on the ground and then touches the blood on her body and slowly stands up. You can see the terror and sadness in his face and eyes. He starts to cry as he rubs her blood on his face. You could tell how much he really loves her. This is my second favorite scene. And then, he doesn't even kill Deckard to get revenge but saves him from falling off the roof. I think by the end, Batty was more human and more real than any of the humans in that film.
I agree with your thoughts regarding the replicants showing more emotions than any of the human characters in the movie. Overall, I believe that the replicants are more human than the humans. The replicants’ motivation to live longer drives them to seek answers and is also a prominent human emotion. In the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, the Disovery One spaceship’s computer system ,HAL, also expresses similar human characteristics and a will to live. Both films seem to be dealing aspects of the relationship between man and technology.
